Please, let's not get into this. Most people don't understand the significance of it and every time it's used as an excuse for anti-semitism by some.
Everyone can be a "God's chosen people" who follows Christ and who does his will, I'm sure.

Well by checking into your other questions it is obvious that you are looking for some support...According to the Bible..yes they are the chosen people. They are not responsible for this label. I still cannot understand why a group that occupies 1/5 of 1% of the world population commands so much attention. As I have said before Jews predate Islam by thousands of years in Israel.That is a fact even Muslims agree with..If the Jews were to arbitrarily take a land ..it would have been one with at least a little oil...don't you think...Seek out a secular source on the region and stop regurgitating this crap and think on your own for once. I am not at all Jewish or Christain ...for the record...

God does not play favorites among His people, however, the Bible does tell us that God's chosen people are the Jewish race because they were the ONLY ones to obey Him in lieu of other gods.
Deuteronomy 7:6 says, "For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession."
This does not mean they are automatically "saved" and will go to Heaven. In order to assurance of eternal life in heaven, one must believe in God. Because of God's Promise to redeem the Jews in the end times, Israel will turn to the Messiah and be saved.

I'm a Christian, so do not claim to know much about Judaism. In my view God is not selective, we are all his chosen people; so yes Jews are God's chosen people, but so are all the other people on earth regardless of their religion.

Well prophesy has been on the mark so far,the next one for Israel is that they'll be dwindled down in number,turn to Jesus(christianity) and thus Armegeddon,and trhough I'm not a religious zealot,I believe the next events to happen is that we will weaken our ties to Israel,they will come under attack by Iran and thus the prophesy will start to become into being...so yes they are Gods people

That depends on your personal belief, some people beleive in Alah, Buddah, Jehova, The indians beleived in many Gods. God is a "faith" that some people need to keep going on with their lives. Some people could not go on living without faith.

Nobody's chosen. Just picked on.

PS I think you might be in the wrong section. Try Religion and Spirituality.

i absolutely believe that all spiritual beings who lead lives without hurting anything or anyone and have a true connection with god are his chosen people.If you can go to bed every night and be able to know that you have not caused anything/one pain,you'll be alright.
